QUEER KINDS OF FRUIT.
How Blood Oranges Are Produced by the
Peasants in Sicily.

Peasants in Sicily.
Strolling about the neighborfDod of
the Quincy market, my attention was
attracted by the sign, Blood Oranges,
$3.50 a box" which decorated the ex-
terror of an importers shop. had
always supposed that the blood orange
was freak of nature, to be found semi
occasionally like a yellow fire-cracker
in pack of the Golden Dragons brand;
but this, it seems, was a mistake, for
the dealer assured lie that the ruddy
fruit was distinct variety.
ut is artiticially produced, he said,
"by grating an ordinary orange tree
with the pomegranate The result is an
orange like any other, so far as flavor
is concerned, but with red juice that is
visible through the skin. 1t brings a
slightly higher price, because it is re-
garded as a curiosity. The people of
Sicily cultivate it mostly. Yes, there
are one OF two queer kinds of oranges
1 know of The pineapple orange,
which has something of the pineapple
flavor, is finding its way into the
market. Then there is the ''navel'
orange, grown extensively in Southern
California. 1t is considered particularly
fine, and sells at corresponding prices.
The most curious thing about it is the
astonishingly accurate imitation of the
human umbilicus which ornaments the
extremity farthest from the stem. 1t is
from this popularity that the variety
takes its name. These navel oranges,
by the way, are of the feminine gender,
and have no seeds at all.
Il had few sweet lemons in stock
the other day." added the dealer.
They are quite a rarity. People in
this part of the world have poor taste
in tropical fruit, any way. They will
always pay more for red banana than
for yellow one, though the former is
considered an inferior fruit where both
are grown. The lime, too, is far more
priced in tropical countries than the
lemon, but Northerners think it is only
good for picking. boston Globe.

A Monster Stone Dam.

A remarkable dam is about to be
constructed by a water company at the
San Mateo canyon, four miles from San
Mateo, CAL, in order to form reser-
voir. The canyon is very narrow and
steep, and fifteen feet below the bottom
is solid rock, on which the foundation
of the dam will rest. The structure
will be 10 feet high, 175 feet wide at
the base, 20 feet at the top and 700 feet
in length. 1t will be the largest stone
dam ever known to have been built.
The dixie will have curvature of eighty
feet and the convex side will be up
stream. The material will be a new
sort of concrete composed of stone.
The walls will be perfectly smooth.
The reservoir that will be formed by it
and the adjacent hills, will be about
eight miles in length and $50 feet deep
at the deepest places. Its capacity
will be about 32,000,000,000 gallons.
The water will be conveyed by tunnels
to the city of San Franciseo = san

astonished wrestler could only cry
'Who-who the deuce are you?" The
man you threw, Joe Call, at your serv-
ice. sir!"
But the most remarkable feat which
Joe ever performed was on the occasion
of an incidental wrestling match, which
occurred between himself and another
individual, during the late war, at
Plattsburgh. 1t seems that in the
British camp was celebrated English
bully whose massive strength and great
skill, both as pugilist and wrestler,
made him the terror as we'll as cham
pion of the army. Joe happening one
day to be in the English camp on some
errand or other, it was soon noised
about, and some of the officers by
chance getting wind OF it, and also
hearing of his great strength, deter
mined to bring about match between
this Yankee Hercules and their bully.
Accordingly, having brought them to-
gether, it was proposed to Joe that they
should have ''set to-" But Joe, who
was anything but quarrelsome, and
whose natural nobility of character
placed him altogether above any thing
Of the kind, peremptorily declined the
match, asserting at the same time that
he presumed the Englishman would
throw him with the greatest ease, as
he professed no skill whatever. To this
the bully sneeringly replied that hecould
not only throw him, but any othercursed
Yankee they would bring on. This fling
at the Yankees nettled Joe at once, for,
although conscious of his own strength,
he cared little what taunts might be
applied to his own person, yet when his
nation came to be the object of such
remarks, his blood boiled at once, and
he determined, right or wong, to show
the sneeriug bully that Yankee prowess
was not to be lightly esteemed. Yield
ing to his patriotic feelings he immedi-
ately announced his willingness, and
they ''took hold" The first trial was
at what is termed "arms length, - and
Joe soon found that his antagonist was
no ''carpet knight to be handled in
the gingerly manner with which it had
been his wont to treat his opponents of
the ring. At the first onset Joe was
brought to his knee Immediately
springing up, he confessed himself
fairly filed" and then requested that
they should take trial at back-hold.
To this the bully assented. We have
often heard Joe say that previous to
this time he never could discover any
difference in the strength of men; but
that now he felt he must exert all his
power. Selling hold of his antagonist
he bowed himself with all his strength
and squeezed the vain boaster to his
breast. The Englishman gave one
shrek, his arms loosed their hold, his
whole frame quivered, and when Joe
released HIM from his grasp the bully
fell, with eyes protruding and blood
gushing from his nostrils, dead at his
feet!-ChtcdqO Herald.

HOW TO HANDLE BULLS.

A Simple Contrivance That May Prove
Useful to Many Stock-Raisers.
Having handled bulls for many years,
and just now having had some extra
trouble with an eight months old ami
NAL, l herewith send you description
of device which may prove useful to
some of your readers: l took piece
of hard wood, l by 8 inches, and cut
off two lengths, 9 inches each; planed
them down smooth; laid them on
top of each other, and with brace
and s-inch bit bored hole at each end
and one in the center Then took a
strong piece of half-inch hemp rope,
put knot in one end, drew it through
one piece, aud then the other, up to six
inches, knotted it outside, thus forming
the nose-pece. The middle holes used
for the head-piece, which must be adj
justed to the size of the animals head,
and then under the jaw put another,
leaving the second knot loose enough
for the animal to eat, but not so much
as to let him get it off his head, and
cutting this rope about long enough to
lead by. In another piece of wood, G
inches long, put a hole at each end tC
which attached the short rope and a
longer rope--acting as swivel-and
when we led the bull out in the field
and stumped him down with 20-foot
tether, he led like lamb, after one
day, and it was wonderful how quickly
he gave in to letting me be "boss. ~

Understood English.

A lady tells the following snake story:
Going through the reptile department
of the Jardin DIES Plantes with party
escorted by distinguished French
savant, they stopped before the cage of
a large rattlesnake. The snake lay
motionless, apparently asleep. Delay
ing behind their party, Mrs. Clark and
friend began to speak in English. To
their surprise the snake moved, lifted
its head and gave every sign of interest
in their conversation. Vixen they re-
joined their party they remarked that
the snake understood English. The
whole party then returned to the cage.
The snake was apparently asleep again.
They conversed in French, but the snake
made no movements; then the ladies
began to speak in English. The snake
started, lifted its head, and showed the
same alertness as before at the sounds.
The rattlesnake proved, on inquiry to
have come from Virginia. Chicago

MORMONS OUTTAI.K A MOB.
New YORK, July 30.--A dispatch to
the Herald from Augusta, Ga, says:
For some weeks past there has been
movement OIL foot to lynch the three
Mormans ofwhom so much has been
written of late. Monday night a
band of about 20 powerful country
men surrounded the house in which
they were stopping. A man named
Anderson came out in his night
clothes followed by the three Nor
mans and warned the crowd not to
approach the house. Spencer, the
leader of the Mormans, then said that
they were only carrying out the will
of God, who had sent them, and that
the newspaper stories Of their preach
ing were without foundation, and
that they only wanted to be heard be-
fore anything was done with them.
He followed then with earnest plead
ing. The talk was so effectual that
the crowd walked away, leaving the
Mormans masters of the situation.
